GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- When OTA's (organized team activities) begin in Green Bay later this month, brothers Orrin and Jeremy Thompson will be competing against each other on the Packers' practice field.

Older brother Orrin as offensive tackle and fourth-round draft pick Jeremy at defensive end, the Thompsons could be lining up across from each other in one-on-one pass rush drills.

Orrin is in his third season with the Packers as backup offensive tackle.

The Packers traded up 11 spots in the fourth round of the draft to take Jeremy. The two haven't been on the same team since they were together at Charlotte Christian School in North Carolina eight years ago.
